Harvest Program 25H02

[adoublee]

@JPro and @Traconesu both reporting issues following module replacements as part of 25s18. A blown fuse when out of town with vehicle, and a bad replacement battery module.

Also seeing that similar harvest programs (mustang V8 engine heads) participation has sometimes been tied to warranty preservation, with non-participation risking denial of future claims. That is not explicitly stated for the 25H02.

Evidently there are (2) fuses in the HV battery. My dealer said one positive and one negative? One of them blew before my module replacements and the other one after.

On January 24, 2025, while this teardown analysis and review was ongoing, Ford’s Field Review Committee authorized Harvest Program 25H02 to obtain additional physical samples from the field for in-depth evaluation and root cause analysis to facilitate further testing and understanding of root cause.

It is confusing why it took 6 months before Harvest letters were received by folks .....

Interesting that the July letter is only going to 299 vehicles, unless a whole bunch of others were already taken between January and June for the 25H02 as mentioned in the 25S18 January notification. I hope Ford is backcharging SK On for this mess.

Got mine scheduled for September. Looks like they have an idea of what parts they need to replace since they don’t ask to bring the truck before hand to inspect.

I think it's routine for automakers to charge suppliers. I know GM made LG pay for all the Bolt battery recall replacements.

Did anyone complete the program lately?

Just spotted this on Reddit:

A complete? battery replacement and a $1,000 gift card, seems like a better way to do it than what Ford is doing.

A complete? battery replacement

GM packs are not dealer serviceable, they can not swap arrays like in the Ford packs.

Interesting!
Thanks for sharing that nugget.

Finally got around to taking it in for the 25H02 "not a recall", and they basically said it's been converted to an "advance notice", and didn't do the work. I went to the ford website and entered in my VIN and it now says there's no recalls or customer satisfaction programs. I guess Ford figured out what they needed to know, or else, just cancelled the program when they cancelled the lightning. Anyone else have this taken care of recently?
